Answer:

The correct answer is letter c. a variable-ratio scheduled.

Explanation:

Psychologist B. F. Skinner developed operant conditioning, which is a method of teaching someone a desired behavior by reinforcing that behavior either positively or negatively. A positive reinforcer happens when something is added to increase the probability of a behavior. A negative one happens when something is removed to increase the probability of a behavior. <u> The reinforcer is presented ONLY if the subject responds with the targeted behavior, but that does not mean every time the subject responds he will receive reinforcement.</u>

<u>A variable-ratio schedule is a schedule of reinforcement in which the person is not rewarded every time. As a matter a fact, behavior is reinforced after an unpredictable number of responses.</u> Because it is unpredictable, people are often more persistent, since they know they will eventually get the reward. That is the case with Shaquille. The basket is the reinforcement of his shots, but he does not know when he will make them. So he tries harder.

The correct answer is: "Purchasing Power Parity"

The theory of the Purchasing Power Parity is used to compare the cost of life  and living standards between two countries that use two different currencies. This is done by comparing two curriencies through a basket of goods, by comparing their market prices and, therefore, how they are valued under each currency. This enables to conclude how much of each currency you need to purchase an specific product (a bike) and hence, the purchasing power of consumers who hold that currency.

if i sleep 5 hours below everyday what will happen to me in the future? Can it cause damage to my body?​
monitta
You can grow very tired if you are not used to it at first. Later on in life your body should adapt to this change. I’ve read that even though we are told to sleep for 8-9 hours a day, those hours are meant to be separated through out the day. On the other hand, everyone’s body is different so it can vary between person. Hopefully this helps.

How does Harper Lee introduce the Tom Robinson case so the reader knows it will be the major conflict of the work?
Mila [183]

Answer:

Harper Lee introduces the major theme of the story by making Cecil Jacobs taunt Scout about their father's act of "defending ni g gers".

Explanation:

Chapter 9 of the text "To Kill A  Mockingbird" by Harper Lee shows the scene where Scout had gotten angry with Cecil Jacobs for something he had said about Atticus. When he asked Jem what it meant when Cecil said <em>"Scout Finch’s daddy defended ni g gers"</em>. Jem had told her to ask Atticus herself, which brings or introduces the Tom Robinson case for the first time.

When Scout asked Atticus about it, he told her that he is "<em>simply defending a Neg ro—his name’s Tom Robinson. He lives in  that little settlement beyond the town dump. He’s a member of Calpurnia’s church, and  Cal knows his family well. She says they’re clean-living folks". </em>By bringing up the topic of <em>"ni g gers</em>", we can know or understand that the novel will revolve around the theme of racial discrimination.
